Standards-first
Every protocol, cipher, and cookie convention the stack runs is a named standard your team already knows. Nothing proprietary sits between your identity provider and your origins.
- OIDC
- Login, logout, and identity claims against any OIDC-compliant identity provider.
- OAuth 2.0
- The authorization code flow that swaps the browser login for a token set at the edge.
- PKCE
- A per-login code verifier proves the browser that started the login is the one that finishes it.
- __Host- cookies
- Session cookies carry the __Host- prefix, so the browser enforces HttpOnly, Secure, and exact-host scoping.
- AES-256-GCM
- Identity provider credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they are stored.
Works with Okta, Ping, Entra ID, Cognito, or any other OIDC-compliant identity provider you already run. The Handled Cloud stack is the only piece that knows about your identity provider; your applications do not.
